“This souvenir do’nt forget”

This series started during my residency time at MASS MoCA, 2022. In 2024 the series was featured at the Worcester Art Museum as part of their Central Massachusetts Artist Initiative.

“This souvenir do’nt forget” examines how memory informs identity, connecting textile to my family’s history and migration story from Vietnam to the United States.
